Mandy’s Making Plans
and a whole lot of other things too!
For as long as I can remember, I’ve enjoyed simply making things! I was always pestering my mom to teach me how to make various things, I remember crocheting loop bracelets for myself and my friends: I remember hand stitching little 9-patch quilt squares for my dolls or to make into a handbag, and of course I loved to color, paint, and play with stickers!
I’m hoping too use this space to share the joy of making with others! From tips & tricks I’ve picked up, to showcasing other makers and designers I’ve met along the way, hopefully you’ll find something here to inspire you to get your own creativity flowing!

I’m a mom of 1 (plus 2 cats), and married to my college sweetheart. We live in the Chicago suburbs, which I love – close enough to everything, not quite city life, but a far cry from the rural town I grew up in.
When I’m not working, crafting, or taking care of my family and house, you can find me playing video games (World of Warcraft and Animal Crossing are the top of my list currently), taking ballet class, reading… or lets be real I’m probably still doing some sort of crafting!
